What is raised loft boarding?
Laying boards straight onto the joists compresses the insulation to the joist depth, which can halve its value, and can trap moisture under the boards. We board the area you need, usually around the hatch, and leave the rest of the loft at full depth. More about raised loft boarding.
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
Why book with us in Redruth
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Redruth?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about raised loft boarding in Redruth
What do I need to do before you arrive in Redruth?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Do you charge extra to travel to Redruth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Redruth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in Redruth?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft boarding included in VAT relief?
No. Boarding is not an energy-saving material, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies, while the insulation underneath can be zero-rated.
How much weight can a boarded loft take?
Ordinary household storage such as boxes and cases is fine on most lofts. Heavy items need the joists assessing. Trussed roofs are lighter than traditional cut roofs.
